Alaura Foust Senior Goodbye

It is very hard to believe that in just a few weeks I will be leaving this high school that I’ve called home for so many years and beginning a new chapter of my life. While I am very excited to go off on my own and start my life, leaving this school will be one of my hardest goodbyes. I have made memories here that I know I will always treasure forever. I am so grateful to have met my best friends and teachers that have left a huge impact on me here. I have truly enjoyed my time at this high school and I will always be proud to be a Milton Panther.

There are so many great memories I have made throughout the past few years, but it wasn’t always easy. I have had the opportunity to be a member and officer of several clubs, play on the soccer team and be crowned the 2022 Milton Harvest Festival Princess. At times juggling all of my extracurriculars and classes was difficult, but I couldn’t be more grateful that I stuck it out. Through the long days and numerous time management lessons, I now see that all of the things I was apart of in high school have shaped me into who I am today.

Through the tough times in high school, I was blessed to be able to have lots of friends and teachers to lean on. I have had the same group of friends since elementary school and it was so fun to grow up together. I can’t wait to see all the things they accomplish and meet back up with them on summer breaks from college. I was also lucky enough to always have Ms. Finnerty and her Journalism class to lean on in times of struggle. I will never forget my days spent in her classroom and the wild tangents in which we went off on.

I could probably go on forever about all of the things I am grateful I got to experience or have in high school. I truly mean it when I say that going off to college and saying goodbye to my hometown will be one of my hardest goodbyes, but it is also bittersweet. I will never get to be in high school ever again, but I am truly happy and proud of how I chose to spend the past four years. Thank you, Milton High School! You will be cherished and dearly missed.
